Meet Peg & Rob Wight

About the Wights

Rob and Peg Wight have 4 children and 6 grandchildren. Rob retired from P&G and Clopay. Peg has been a substitute teacher for Sycamore Schools. They watch their grandchildren and bring them to the farm regularly. Rob has property in NY state near his hometown, where he likes to use his John Deere tractor. They both of us like to walk and ride bicycles for exercise.

How long have you volunteered at the Farm?
I think we both started around 2000. I was asked to help garden and Rob was asked to be on the Board. We like living close to Gorman Farm; first as Evendale residents and now in Blue Ash. Both of us enjoy the variety of volunteer opportunities that the farm offers.

What is your favorite volunteer job at GHF?
I have been an educational guide, and I have tried to make the farm look beautiful either with flowers and gardens, or by painting, organizing or trimming. Rob served on the board for 10 years and was once president of the Board. He has remade some of the wooden benches and will pitch in for festivals, and to help me with some of the heavy gardening work (he likes to drive the farm’s John Deere tractor. 🙂

Why do you volunteer?
We both believe in Gorman’s philosophy of teaching people where their food comes from and why farms are so important. We also enjoy the historical aspects of the farm, and the great comradery with the other farm workers and volunteers. We have learned so much from the farm!

How much volunteer time do you give GHF?
Lots. We don’t count them. Sorry.

Are you Members or Donors?
Yes and Yes!
